Warmack, a four-star offensive guard and the younger brother of former Tide great Chance Warmack, has visited Auburn and says that while he's still committed to the Crimson Tide, he's "just looking around a little" after Alabama signed two centers and three guards in its 2014 class.

Patrick, meanwhile, told 247Sports this week that Alabama is in his top five along with Auburn, Georgia, Florida and Clemson. He's had Alabama, Auburn and Georgia at the top of his list for some time now, but Florida and Clemson are new additions.

Patrick (6-3, 220), rated as the No. 6 weak-side defensive end prospect in the nation in the 247Sports Composite, visited Alabama on March 15 and came away impressed.

"Ah man, every time I go to Alabama, it's a great feeling," he told 247Sports. "Alabama's practice is almost like the next level -- they're elite anyway because the caliber of guys they have there. I was looking at the outside 'backers. Coach Saban says he sees me as a Jack 'backer, so I definitely paid close attention to the linebackers.

"The place speaks for itself."

Patrick also had what he called "a great visit" to Georgia last weekend. He said Alabama, Georgia and Auburn are recruiting him the hardest.

"They just recently had like three freshman All-Americans -- all on the defensive line -- so obviously that has to do with coaching," Patrick told 247Sports of Auburn. "The best thing about it is the home feeling. The fans, the school itself -- you just fall in love with it."

Patrick plans to attend spring games at Georgia and either Alabama or Auburn -- they're the same day on April 19 -- and make a decision sometime this fall.
